Abstract

Water is the most commonly used resource in the world. The world’s supply of sanitary water is limited and exposed to contamination. Increasing demands for water are required for cultivation, manufacturing, and urban development, but these are more important to control than the distribution of limited freshwater resources. Various industries use water for diverse processes and then discharge it back into the surroundings. In recent times, researchers have focused on effluent treatment by a variety of processes with low costs and high removal efficiency. This study examines the removal of contamination from industrial effluents by a liquid membrane method. Water is recovered and reused through the liquid membrane, which has significant ecological benefits and decreases the effects of wastewater discharge on environmental water quality. Financial and environmental benefits have been recognized in this recently developed liquid membrane method.
